My husband surprised me with a visit here while we were out and about on a Saturday. I had never…read morebeen here but I had gotten some of their beer at Trader Joes. It was about 2pm and rainy...there was practically no one there so we had an easy time parking. Meredith was the bartender and she was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I love breweries. And one of my favorite things to do is get a flight, so I was very surprised to learn that they only did flights on THURSDAYS...I'm not sure I've ever been to a brewery that only did flights on certain days. But my husband decided on the Juicy Rapids IPA and I started with a Strawberry Shortcake. I was also surprised to have my beer served in a clear plastic solo cup (also a first at a brewery.) The seating area was huge, almost cavernous. The restrooms were easy to find and very clean. It was also really neat to see where they brewed the beer onsite. Everything was so shiny! LOL. For our second round, I had a Mountain Sunrise Blonde. And since I didn't get a flight, I ended up having a third round of Pumpkin Pie Porter, which was delicious and IMO, much better than the other two I had, which I was not very impressed with. We ended up staying for 1.5 hours and it really started to fill up. And get really noisy. I did get to meet a really sweet dog though! There was not a food truck while we were there but they did have chips and other snacks available. I REALLY liked the Jalapeno Queso chips...I need to find out where else I can buy those! Overall it was a wonderful place to have a day date...very relaxed and friendly. I would come back here again.

Anyway, went across the street to the Tap House. It was like 130pm on Saturday, but pretty empty. I had the pickle chips to start and was worried that I would ruin my appetite... no chance or that, as the serving, which took 20 minutes, was about the size of a large handful, lol. They were decent, but could have been drained or blotted better, the bottom was a pool of grease. 10 bucks doesn't go very far these days. For my lunch, I had a dozen dry rubbed wings with Spitfire and some other sauce on the side (website is pretty bad) doesn't mention the sauce list. One of the sauces was nice and spicy, kind of surprised they would serve that in NC, but good. The wings themselves were good. Nicely cooked, not too fatty, and a nice dry rub. Service was weird. I had not been there before, and the host... Lets just say I asked 4 times if they had a bar I could sit at, and he said he couldn't understand me 4 times, so I just walked by him and sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice, but the girl that ran my food twice talked so low that I could not hear or understand her... turnabout. Anyway, I like in Cary, and although it was OK, I cannot see myself driving out there again just for the food. If I was driving through and wanted wings, I would probably stop.

I was really surprised that even at that hour the whole restaurant was busy. The interior was stunning!! I loved the lighting fixtures and drappy curtains. I would say that I didn't like that they dimmed the lights sooo low that I could barely see my food or my friend across the table. There's mood lighting and then there's "I can't see lighting" and it was definitely the latter, which I didn't care for. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! 10 out of 10, the staff was also incredible! Can't wait to come back for more! My favorite was the Pork & Chive Shumai (dumplings with caviar) it was my first time trying caviar and I loved it. I didn't like the seafood dumplings as much as I expected. They were really good. I just loved the pork ones more. The beef and crab rice was also EXCELLENT!!!! Well worth the price. Beautiful place.

Bartenders were great, very attentive (even though the place was busy), no folks hanging over us so we could enjoy our dinner. Food was really good and not outrageously priced, and arrived really quick! Definitely recommend the "summer salad", a seasonal option with delicious tomatoes, peaches and cheese. Falafel burger was also good and tator tots were nice and cripsy. I would definitely go again. Just be warned, the place is very loud (so you'll need to talk loud if sitting anywhere inside) and is definitely a "hipster" location. :)

It's one thing to do your job but that kind gesture made my entire experience that much more special. So to my servers, thank you once again!! Now, let get to the food and ambience, what were all her for. Appetizers: BBQ Cheese fries and Smoked wings ! They brought hush puppies and biscuits with their house made honey butter to the table. We ordered a couple of the Combination Plates, the BBQ Chicken Plate and the Pick two protein plates. Everything was good, and everyone left stuffed and had plenty of leftovers!

We started with the pimento cheese balls, which were super cheesy and delicious. They also brought out biscuits and hush puppies, and those were perfect to start the meal.

The fries were really good (even I enjoyed them!), and the mac and cheese was definitely the favorite. The adults ordered a double combo with pulled pork and brisket, and it was big enough to easily split between two people. My husband and I both got the Pit bacon cheeseburger, and it was so good and huge. I ended up taking half home for later. My husband also got mac and cheese and shared it with the kids, while I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. The staff was really friendly, and everything came out nicely.
